Dr. Remy Eussen to receive
Vancouver dentist Remy Eussen has been named winner of the 2009 Public Health Community Award, for significant contributions in promoting and protecting community health. Eussen will be recognized for helping to narrow the gap in dental health equity in Clark County at 9 a.m. Wednesday, April 22, in the Clark County commissioners’ hearing room in the Public Service Center. The presentation takes place at the start of the Board of Health’s monthly meeting and is open to the public. When he arrived 10 years ago, it was difficult to find dental care for young children covered by Medicaid, a federal and state medical assistance program. Dr. Eussen immediately began serving those children. Currently 80 percent of his patients are children covered by Medicaid. Dr. Eussen has mobilized community support for the Access to Baby and Child Dentistry program and has trained more than 60 dentists in techniques necessary for treating and preventing dental diseases in young children. Selected for special recognition awards were the following: Clark College Healthy Penguin Nation; Clark Public Utilities Water Services, for stewardship programs to protect water quality and provide watershed restoration; Dr. Desiree Hellegers for increasing understanding of social and environmental justice locally, nationally and globally; and Community Choices’ Walking.

High school students should Now through April 30, high school sophomores and juniors interested in getting a head start on their college education can test for fall 2009 entry into Clark College’s Running Start program. Running Start allows eligible juniors and seniors to take classes to earn college credit while they fulfill their high school graduation requirements. To be eligible, students are required to earn college-level scores on writing and reading placement tests in order to enroll in the program. Students who wish to take math classes, or a class requiring a math placement score, such as chemistry, must also take a math placement test. Testing opportunities, however, are limited. Students must sign up in advance through the Clark College web site: www.clark.edu/runningstart. There is no cost to students who have not previously tested for entry into the program. Students who have questions about their eligibility for the program are encouraged to call Clark College’s Running Start office at 360-992-2366. City to set speed limit
based The speed limit on NE 162nd Avenue between NE 65th and NE Poplar Streets will be set at 45 miles an hour by the Vancouver City Council this evening. Speed limits are generally determined by speeds recorded by motorists using the street. In the case of NE 162nd Avenue 85 percent of the motorists were recorded travelling an average of 53.5 miles an hour northbound and 46.8 miles an hour southbound. According to city officials, the 45-mile-an-hour speed limit assumes that 85 percent of motorists are satisfied with 45 miles an hour. Only 15 percent are expected to exceed that limit. Airport Way interchange gets airing The Port of Portland and the Oregon Department of Transportation will share three proposed improvement alternatives for the traffic congestion problem at the Airport Way-Interstate 205 interchange, and solicit public input that will be instrumental in their final determination of the best alternative, at a joint open house this Wednesday, April 22, from 4:30 to 7 p.m. It will be held at the Multnomah Educational Service District, 11611 NE Ainsworth Circle, Auditorium “E,” Portland.
